We've talked about loopholes and contract problems before, but avoiding the messiness of real estate is one of those topics you can never cover too many times. In this episode, we're talking about all the tiny contract decisions that don't feel like a big deal until suddenly they are. Missing initials. Blank lines. Verbal promises. Appliances that magically disappear. Furniture negotiations that never end. You know the ones. This conversation was sparked by a broker who reached out to us after stepping into a compliance role and realizing just how messy agents can get with paperwork. From there, we went deep into why clean contracts matter, how verbal agreements create risk, and why adding "just one more thing" to a purchase agreement can blow up an otherwise smooth deal. This episode is part pep talk, part cautionary tale, and part reminder that professionalism protects everyone involved. Here's what we cover in this episode: Why avoiding the messiness of real estate starts with treating paperwork like a legal document (because it is) How missing initials, blanks, and timestamps can create real liability Why verbal agreements are only good for setting expectations, not protecting deals The risks of "knowledge only" conversations during due diligence Appliances, furniture, grills, boats, and why movables make contracts messy fast How lenders and appraisers view non-real-estate items in contracts Why clean offers are often the strongest offers A reminder that it's not a problem until it's a problem Key Quotes & Takeaways Alissa: "It's not a problem until it's a problem. And then it's a big problem." Katy: "The more things you add to a contract, the more things can go wrong." Alissa: "Verbal agreements are only good for setting expectations, not protecting deals." Katy: "Clean offers win. Every single time." Alissa: "Professionalism isn't about being perfect. It's about being careful."

You can get involved with all the NHL futures action over on bet365 by using the promo code NATION at bet365.comThe DFO Rundown is back with a packed episode breaking down early takeaways from the Milan Games, Canada vs Czechia reactions, and the biggest storylines developing between Team Canada and Team USA. We dive into lineup decisions, ice-time management, and the growing conversation around performance trends on both the men's and women's sides of the tournament.Plus, NHL trade talk is heating up. We look at players who could be raising their trade value on the international stage, management concerns around roster construction, and the latest rumours involving Jordan Binnington, Jordan Kyrou, Dougie Hamilton, and more as the trade deadline begins to take shape.
Ben Ennis and Brent Gunning open this episode by circling back to Team Canada's 5–0 win over Czechia, including Jordan Binnington's postgame “psycho goalie” stare. They look ahead to today's clash with Switzerland, react to Josh Morrissey's injury, and debate what's even left for Canada to “learn” after such a complete opener. The conversation pivots to Blue Jays camp with José Berríos speaking publicly for the first time, weighing whether his “bad decision” comments sound like real closure or something that could linger, before touching on the Phillies moving on from Nick Castellanos. After the break, Justin Bourne (28:57) of Real Kyper & Bourne joins as the guys keep riding the high from Canada's near-flawless opener. He zeroes in on the most Canadian subplot possible: Binnington looking calm, sharp, and comfortable, sparking the inevitable “so… what exactly is happening in St. Louis?” conversation. They wrap by looking ahead to Switzerland, what carries over, and whether anything needs tightening at all.The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliates.

The holidays are behind us; you know what that means—it's tax season! But before you start gathering your W-2s and receipts, there's an important question: Do you know who will prepare your taxes this year?With a nationwide shortage of Certified Public Accountants (CPAs) and tax professionals, waiting too long to find a preparer could leave you scrambling—and vulnerable to scams. Here's how to protect yourself and find a trusted tax preparer.Who Can Prepare Your Taxes?When hiring a tax professional, your preparer will likely fall into one of three categories:Certified Public Accountant (CPA): These professionals undergo rigorous education, exams, and licensing requirements. Many specialize in tax preparation and can also provide broader financial guidance.Enrolled Agent (EA): Licensed by the IRS, EAs are tax experts who can prepare and file returns, represent clients before the IRS, and provide tax planning services.Tax Attorney: These legal professionals specialize in tax law and are particularly useful for complex tax situations, audits, or disputes.Each of these professionals is highly qualified—but the problem is there aren't enough of them.There is a growing shortage of CPAs and tax professionals, largely due to fewer young people entering the field. One of the major "Big Four" firms, KPMG, continues to offer high school students internships at $22 an hour to encourage them to become CPAs.What does this mean for you?Longer wait times to book a tax preparerHigher fees due to increased demandGreater risk of falling into the hands of fraudulent preparersWhen people are desperate to file their returns, they can become easy targets for scammers who fake credentials or engage in tax fraud.How to Avoid Tax Scams and Find a Qualified PreparerTo protect yourself, follow these IRS-recommended steps when choosing a tax preparer:1. Choose a Year-Round Tax PreparerA reputable preparer should be available year-round. You don't want your tax preparer to disappear if you get audited.2. Verify Their IRS CredentialsAsk for the IRS Preparer Tax Identification Number (PTIN). All paid tax return preparers must register with the IRS and enter their PTIN on every return they file.Check their status using the IRS Directory of Federal Tax Return Preparers at IRS.gov.3. Look for Professional CredentialsAsk if the preparer holds a credential such as:CPA (Check with the State Board of Accountancy)Enrolled Agent (Verify at IRS.gov under "Verify Enrolled Agent Status")Tax Attorney (Confirm with their State Bar Association)Additionally, inquire about continuing education, as tax laws change frequently; professionals should stay current.4. Be Cautious About FeesBeware of tax preparers who:Charge fees based on a percentage of your refundClaim they can get you a larger refund than competitorsA legitimate preparer should charge a flat or hourly rate based on the complexity of your return.5. Verify IRS E-File CapabilityMost tax preparers handling more than 10 clients must file electronically. If your preparer refuses to e-file, that's a red flag.6. Ensure Proper DocumentationA trustworthy tax preparer will ask for the following:Your W-2 and 1099 forms (not just a pay stub)Records of deductions and creditsIf a preparer doesn't ask for supporting documents, walk away. The IRS requires proper documentation to verify your return.7. Understand Representation RulesOnly CPAs, Enrolled Agents, and tax attorneys can represent you before the IRS if you're audited. Non-credentialed tax preparers—including your math-savvy cousin Bill—cannot represent you in an audit.8. Never Sign a Blank or Incomplete Tax ReturnPlease review your return carefully before signing. Ensure all information is accurate, and ask questions if anything appears incorrect.9. Your Refund Should Go to You—Not the PreparerCheck the routing and account number on your tax return to ensure your refund is deposited into your own account, not your preparer's.Looking for a Faith-Based Financial Professional?If you want to work with a tax professional who aligns with biblical financial principles, consider finding a CPA, Enrolled Agent, or tax attorney with the Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA®) designation. To find a trusted, faith-based tax professional, visit FindaCKA.com. With tax season here, choosing a reputable, qualified tax preparer is more important than ever. Don't wait until the last minute—start your search today to avoid scams and ensure your taxes are filed accurately and ethically.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I have long-term care insurance and want to know if it covers assisted living, and for how long. Also, how expensive are these policies—what's the range?I'm 45 and looking to buy a house with a 30-year mortgage. Is that a wise move since I'd be nearing retirement by the time it's paid off?I'm remodeling our bathroom for my husband, who has Parkinson's, and it will cost about $25,000–$30,000. Is it better to take the money from my 401(k) or from equity in our paid-off home?My husband is retired, and when he tries to claim disability, they tell him he can't because of my income since we file jointly. Should we be filing separately?My mom may receive a settlement of around $300,000 after my dad passed. She wants to save some for the grandchildren.

Every family tree is built as much from absence as it is from presence. Names, dates, places, and relationships draw most of our attention, but they are not the whole structure. What often shapes a tree more than anything else is what is missing. Blank space. Not the kind created by neglect or incomplete work, but the kind that remains even after careful searching. The empty boxes. The unconnected lines. The generations that refuse to attach themselves to anything solid. That blank space is genealogy's most honest element...

We start the show with some insane comebacks in last night's NHL slate. The Carolina Hurricanes scored 3 goals in the final two minutes against Utah to win 5-4 in regulation. The Edmonton Oilers also had a massive comeback overcoming a 3-0 deficit in the third to beat San Jose 4-3 in overtime.Macklin Celebrini waved off the referee on a high-sticking penalty he drew in the second period of their game. The penalty wasn't overturned but Gregs and Rupper think this gave him a lot of credibility around the league. Edmonton's win marks the first three-game win streak this season. Crazy to think they're tied with Vegas on points atop the Pacific with no major win streaks. The guys look at all the loser points from games that go to overtime and some rules that could help the overtime, so more games don't go all the way to a shootout. Janaury has set the NHL record for the most hat tricks in a month in NHL history. Alex Tuch had a hat trick last night for the Buffalo Sabres as Alex Lyon picked up his 10th straight win for the streaking Sabres as they beat LA 4-1. What could the Sabres do at the trade deadline?Gregor and Rupp both think the Toronto Maple Leafs playoff hopes are DONE. What's next for the Maple Leafs?The Florida Panthers are another team that made the playoffs last year that are still looking on from the outside. Aleksander Barkov isn't back yet and Sergei Bobrovsky has been struggling. Are the two-time defending champs in danger of missing the playoffs?The Colorado Avalanche are in a rut right now and with plenty of players going to the Olympics and a condensed schedule after the break. Gregor thinks the Avs need some more size on their backend and Rupper looks at their lack of powerplay success.Florida and Colorado both have multiple players going to the Olympics but very condensed schedules after the break. Are the Panthers schedule concerns a dagger to their playoff chances?Patrick Kane broke Mike Modano's record for the most points by an American-born player. Gregor and Rupp rip on the American-born versus American points leader records.Pat joins the show for another edition of Fillin the Blank:_____ is the most likely to beat the Colorado Avalanche to win the Western Conference_____ could usurp Nathan MacKinnon for the RocketAt -500 to make the playoffs and +350 to not make it, the Buffalo Sabres ______ the playoffsBuffalo, Detroit, Montreal, and Anaheim highlight some fanbases the guys think would be electric atmospheres for home playoff series with their droughts.You can get involved with all the NHL futures action over on bet365 by using the promo code NATION at bet365.comConnect with us on ⬇️TwitterInstagramWebsiteDaily Faceoff Merch Hosted on Acast.

People with aphantasia can't visualize images in their mind's eye. Ask them to picture an apple and they see a blank screen. Aphantasia researcher Joel Pearson, PhD, discusses how scientists are developing new methods to measure aphantasia beyond self-reports; how aphantasia may affect people's memory and emotions; the link between aphantasia and creativity; the opposite condition of hyperphantasia, or extraordinarily vivid mental imagery; and what these differences in our internal mental experiences can teach us about consciousness and neurodiversity.

Blank pages waste time; smart templates build businesses. We walk through three practical builds in Canva and show how to turn simple starting points into original, high-value resources teachers actually want to buy on TPT—without copying or cutting corners. You'll see how small design tweaks, licensed fonts, and clean layouts boost clarity, and how scaling one idea into a multipage set instantly lifts perceived value and price.First, we rework a color-by-number into a focused operations with integers pack. The approach is simple: refine borders, swap in your brand fonts, and structure problems so color sections reinforce computation. Then we show how to multiply that effort—three pages each for adding, multiplying, and dividing, plus optional word problems—so you have a cohesive nine-page resource that justifies a $3 price point and positions you for bundles.Next, we rethink task cards as a concept-building sort. Students match fractions, decimals, and percents to visual pie charts, turning recall into flexible translation across representations. We share layout tips, a scaffolded example card, and self-checking options that cut grading time. For primary teachers, the same framework adapts to phonics—sorting clip art by initial sounds or grouping by target answers for early math.Finally, we convert cute but digital-only letter sorts into print-ready pages with clear directions, dashed cut lines, and intuitive visuals like a shelf and trash can for keep-or-toss sorting. From there, it's easy to expand into uppercase vs. lowercase sorts, mixed-word identify-and-circle pages, and cumulative reviews. Throughout, we emphasize ethical use of Canva (you'll need Canva Pro for selling Pro elements), originality, and shop trust—because sustainable growth on TPT comes from real classroom value and consistent quality.Subscribe for more step-by-step creative workflows, share this with a teacher-seller friend, and leave a review telling us which resource you want built live next.Watch This Episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/B1ByuTNh42ACheck Out My YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/laurenfulton My Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/laurentschappler/ My Other YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@LaurenATsch Free Rebranded Teacher Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/749538092194115 Support the show
